I tried both methods with the turn signals when the new method first came to light and I could not see any difference in brightness between the two. I even filmed it to compare. Do you really see a brightness difference on yours?

Yes -- I figured out a trick to tell the difference.
With the proper setup:
1) CBC I/O right dedicated DRL Lamp output present- YES
2) CBC I/O left dedicated DRL Lamp output present- YES
3) CBC features- DRL lamp location- DEDICATED
4) CBC Features LED dedicated DRL present- YES
If you turn on the turn signal, it will BRIGHTEN slightly from the DRL brightness when the blinks commence. There will be DRL illumination, then a flash of slightly brighter light just as you hit the turn signal stalk. I think it's only about 10% brighter in spite of what people say. I think the dedicated DRL turn signals are 90% as bright as using the non-dedicated DRL method (as listed below).
Doing it manually and
not using the DEDICATED settings and choosing the turn signals as the option (the way I have it now) -- changes below:
1) CBC I/O right dedicated DRL Lamp output present- YES --> NO
2) CBC I/O left dedicated DRL Lamp output present- YES --> NO
3) CBC features- DRL lamp location- DEDICATED --> Turn Signal
4) CBC Features LED dedicated DRL present- YES --> NO
Unlike when they are the dedicated output, when you move the stalk to engage the turn signals, the light doesn't brighten at all on the initial blink because they're already on full blast. I prefer this in spite of the warnings I'll burn out my turn signals.
